Good Morning: I had a sighted person look at my computer and they couldn't see anything when Drop Box spoke. I'm a insider and have the problem right up to the latest insider's update of windows. If I go in to Task Manager and kill everything related to Drop Box as well as Drop Box Updater and Drop Box Serices as soon as I sign in to computer no problems occur.. I noticed that the notiification button is out of focus with NVDA.

I have actually not seen any of the rogue windows since I got a sighted person to fiddle with the preferences, but Dropbox, a chap named Geoff wants anyone ellse with this issue to send him actual screenshots of the screen to see if there is in fact anything graphical on it.I can not do this since its now fixed. if you can upload them to a dropbox link and post the link to my private email I shall pass this on for you. Of course you may have had the guy talk to you directly already, so if you have had this and its resolved your problems, let the rest of us know on this list for future ref.Thanks.Brian

SisTray isn’t the one you’re trying to think of its name? With this one,NVDA+F11 twice brings up the Task ist, but I don’t think this is what NVDA+isbeing wanted to be done? What’s wanted to be done is like Jaws’sJaws+F10, which would be an awesome feature to have!

How do you find floating windows with NVDA other than using the object nav? In Jaws there is a hot key that shows all open app and windows. I cannot find a similar command.

A floating window for those who might not know the terminology. Is a window that is open by a program and is not attached to the program and some of them are not even attached to the application ring (alt tab). If the program does not place the focus correctly into the window. Then you cannot access the window by the keyboard. Thus the workaround which Jaws provides of listing all the windows helps here.

I upgraded to the latest edition of Weather Plus and went to settingsto set my city. I typed the name of my city and entered. Nothinghappened. I tried zip code and that did not work, either. What am Idoing wrong?Nevzat

Actually, each synth has its own pronunciation table. This
table tells it how to pronounce strings.

the problem is that someone set those tables up so that it
tries to figure out words from partial strings and grammatical
rules. Of course, in English this is very difficult. They
didn't organize the tables so that they are truly alphabetical
and so some of the strings are in the wrong order.

The result is that some words end up garbage. It is fixed by
either the developers fixing their tables or else folks like us
adding an entry in the pronunciation dictionary for our systems
that fix each one as we find them. They generally use the
dictionaries on our systems before resorting to the tables in
the synth itself. That is why we can fix them if we choose to.

Maybe it’s a proper name in one or more languages. Some
synthesizers pronounce the word "reading" as "redding" when
capitalized for

Redding Pensylvania. So, a sentence with reading capitalized
at the beginning, would be spoken "Redding this book was a
particularly memorable experience."

Subject: Re: [nvda] μTorrent 3.5.4: NVDA
does't read the name in the list of entries.

Actually this program has this little annoyance with NVDA, and I suspect it
does with any screen reader.

As a workaround, when you reach the point where NVDA reports about the
download in question, just press F2.

Yes, that's the command to rename a file, but doing it you'll be able to
see the current name of the download you're focused into and after you're done
with it you can just press esc to exit it without changing the info on the
field.

Hi, in the
lists of entries, like Download or inSeeding etc., apears a column for the
names of each item in list. NVDA reads from size column to the
following columns, but not the name of the selected entry.

I’ve just noticed that voiceover on the iPhone does the same
thing! What is it about the word tornado!

The original query was: "Can anyone provide the link to the chat group? I have few tech questions, not related to NVDA." The intent, at least to me, was clearly that the address information to the NVDA Chat Subgroup, which I'll repeat here, is what was being sought.

Rosemarie Chavarria kindly provided this information initially, and we've since had a lot of thread drift, which is not unusual.

The day is soon to be upon us when the kind of attention to the nature of the topic being introduced that was shown by Sociohack AC will begin being enforced. That attention is appreciated.

People need to be asking themselves the simple question, "Is what I'm about to ask related to using NVDA to get something done, or about configuring NVDA itself?," and if the answer is, "Yes," it's an NVDA main group topic and if it's, "No," it's either an NVDA Chat Group topic or a topic for another group entirely depending on who they wish to have reading and responding.

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.

Okay, the only problem right now is, how will we know when there are updates to the addon? Joseph Lee on the Windows 10 group for screen reader users has made an addon updater that you could use, but how you can get in touch with him for that I'm not sure.

I recently released something similar to what you're talking about, it's called "Image describer" and is an NVDA add-on. The shortcut to get a description for an image is NVDA+Control+I. The add-on can be downloaded at http://www.screenreader.ai/

It isn't clear what you are discussing. the
subject is for a link to a chat group. Are you discussing that or the main
lists? Blindtech, the main list has a good deal more traffic. I
don't know how membership compares on the chat or the main lists.

• Fixed bug, that returned an empty string if the wind speed in
mph was 0.
• Fixed bug that caused sound effects not consistent with the time
zone to be reproduced.
• adjusted the number of forecast days from 9 to 6 in readme.

Weather Plus can update itself, however you can download it
directly from:

No, actually I was talking about another add-on, which I really can't remember the name right now.But if we ever had this option built-in to NVDA it would be quite nice indeed.Cheers,Marcio AKA /Starboy/Follow or add me on Facebook <https://facebook.com/firirinfonfon>Em 15/03/2019 02:00, Gerardo Corripio escreveu:

Thanks for the keystroke, I had forgotten that keystroke. I wonder if it will help with floating windows.
